THE rules, you say? You think there's some definitive set of rules to dictate correct human behavior? That I could just go out and read? I'm afraid you've been brainwashed, my friend. Sure enough, it's what the government and religious organizations want you to think. The truth is, however, that we are nothing but a cosmic coincidence. Ain't no rules to this shit bro. Humans come up with these arbitrary pacts and pretend that they have intrinsic value. In reality we're just monkeys tossing around feces. Read the rules? Might as well make the rules. Might as well become the rules. This fancy self-driving car we've crammed humanity in and embellished with all kinds of fancy rules is headed for a ditch anyway. Might as well try to jerk the steering wheel. Might as well hack the radio. Might as well break the windshield.

rofl!

this get's 2 thumbs up from me

That elegant barb by Pipenik to be voiced by Brian Blessed and end the next Autechre long player bey. 

I thought it was a new copypasta lol

I'm gonna jinx this, but fuckit... I've found the coolest fucking business property which would be perfect for a proper studio. I'm gonna go see it tomorrow.

Got an audiobook on cassette that features music by Ryuichi Sakamoto for 50 cents.

FWP: I don't have a cassette player.

Sold a painting today and going to invest that money into crypto currency 

just discovered nine inch nails fragile deviations 1. 

loving this

i am in love

My punk band played its first show and the booking agent liked us. Wants us to play another in the future.

Over a week into my new job and I'm realizing there really are workplaces that can be productive and stress-free simultaneously. People are friendly without being overbearing and everyone actually seems equally competent. I thought places like this only existed on tv or at fantastical tech startups.

just realized that tv plays porn late night every night... thought it was just satterdayz

Did my first 5.1 mix for a Netflix documentary

just... don’t ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wife is out of town and I am just chillin', enjoying the quiet. I don't want to hang out with anyone but my pets. I'm sure I'll get ronery soon but for now it's just nice.

Also I made some tasty kimchee fried rice.

Just made some bomb-ass three bean vegetarian chili. Used sour cream, shredded colby jack, green onion, and cilantro for garnish. It honestly surpassed my expectations.

Chili is one of the things I honestly don't at all mind being vegetarian. It's really all about carrying the spices and flavors which I think beans do just fine.

Did you use a recipe from online somewhere?

This is the one I followed: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/vegetarian-black-bean-chili-230632

The only liberty I took was using chickpeas and kidney beans in addition to black beans, rather than using black beans only. And it still turned out great. And yes, in many cases the spices you use can make or break a dish.

spent the last six hours wrestling with Debian getting it fully working and set up /to dual-boot with Windows. I'm pretty rusty with this shit, been years since I messed with it, but I deed it.

Preview of a remix I did is finally available... mine is the very last one that comes in at 6:29

sounds great meng, nice stuff. lush

Replaced both oxygen sensors on a 98 corolla, and passed second attempt smog test.

As I was scrolling down my facebook feed I noticed the "wicked bassist plays a shovel" and "girl breaks down that gated reverb drum sound" vids popping up in quick succession to one another, to which I muttered "jazz..." under my breath.  And then, right on cue, an ad for "Jazz Police" playing at a local club popped up.  Facebook's comedic timing is impeccable.

I'm working on the music for a brand film for some of the best studio monitors available

Are you getting free gear out of the gig as well as getting paid?

That's a nice compliment.  "We've got some of the best monitors in the world, so the ad music's going to need to sound really good.  We better get Squee on the job."  'Grats.

I was actually thinking about asking them about getting paid in equipment, but I’m working on this through a production company.

And yeah, I took it as a huge compliment that they asked me to do it :)

I’ve already done one tune but they re-edited the video so they needed something more uptempo. I really liked the first track I did, and so did my client, and now I’m worried they’ll tell me that the new track is too dark. Oh well.
